"[A]s is the case in the adult criminal legal system, the racially disproportionate confinement of children starts with policing, not criminality. ... [Black and brown kids] are targeted for surveillance, arrest, and punishment in ways that white kids are not."

The disproportionate criminalization of Black people starts at a young age. While Black and white kids use drugs at similar rates, Black youth make up 24% of kids confined for drug offenses, despite comprising just 14% of the general youth population.

"Perhaps prison would have persisted this way forever. Perhaps our granite hearts and iron wills would have never crumbled. Perhaps the prison mentality, that we be cold and heartless, would have endured. Perhaps. But then there were kittens."

When Kittens Came to My Prison, I Had Not Petted One in 15 Years

I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass.

Today I learned yet another concern about data centers is that they have lots of exterior lights that shine all night long for security reasons (of course). So lots more light pollution, affecting wild life, bird migration, and so on.

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me? act.gp/44M8iQA

it comes off as Guys Building The Doom Machines standing around and going "the doom machines could quite likely kill us all, and we should coordinate on stopping them from killing us all, although I *personally* am going to keep focusing on becoming ultra-rich from building the Doom Machines"

This is truly a brilliant essay. Thanks so much for explaining it so well! The key climate audience is those in the upper 5% wealth bracket who are secretly aspiring to one day enter the top 0.1% The FT is the perfect publication for this.

What they, social darwinists, "the religious fundamentalists, the tech accelerationists and the militant ethno-nationalists", hate the most is the idea of : "the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family..." www.un.org/en/about-us/...

Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations

A milestone document in the history of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It has been translated...

Some very good news Coles Supermarkets has dropped Palatir. May the few left in AU that also use this dodgy military-grade surveillance to spy on their workers and the public, also follow Coles' lead. Spain, France, Germany, Britain are all saying no too. USA you can say no too. ⚖️ 🇦🇺 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇧

Coles cuts ties with controversial CIA-linked data giant Palantir

The 2024 deal handed the Peter Thiel-founded company 10 billion rows of data covering every store, shift and one of Australia’s largest workforces.

The collapse of the petrol car market has begun. Put it on a graph, EV sales are experiencing exponential growth. Petrol car sales are in rapid decline. That means: • petrol stations will decline • petrol range anxiety • poor petrol car resale value www.theguardian.com/environment/... #auspol

EV sales outpace petrol cars for first time as Australians dodge soaring fuel costs

New record for Australia as more than 27,000 EVs sold in August, driven by the rising cost of fuel and new government policy

“The prime minister said the entry fee for credibility in the Pacific is taking climate change seriously, and then his government approved 55 million tonnes of coal while he was still in the room with Pacific leaders,” #auspol #politics #climate www.smh.com.au/environment/... archive.md/36cYU

The world made a ‘covenant with the future’ – and we broke it

The UN has finally conceded the world has failed in its bid to hold warming to 1.5 degrees, but our political systems struggle to manage this devastating new truth.
